    Pharos Sirius was only a problem because it dropped the same junk the other, much easier dungeons that were added in the same patch dropped, the same amount of tomes as well, and because it was put in the same roulette. If Pharos had dropped different/better stuff than the other dungeons it wouldn't have received so many complaints.
    That would probably have made it worse since the people who couldn't do it would complain they're getting locked out of better non coil gear.

    And what, in your opinion, makes coil so special that it's immune to this whining you're so sure would happen? Why are people not complaining that they're getting locked out of current coil gear?
    People don't hate challenges. People hate pointless challenges - if there's a path of less resistance offering the same rewards, that's what they'll flock to. Make more 4 man dungeons, some easy, some difficult, put them in different roulettes, make them drop different loot and people will be happy to have new content.
    Put the challenging dungeons in the same roulette, make them drop the same crap they could get more easily, and people will instead complain that dungeon X is too hard, because Y is easier and rewarded just the same.

    Imagine if FCoB dropped the same crap Syrcus Tower drops. How many people would like going to FCoB then? People need a carrot on a stick, then they'll happily face a challenge, but if there's an easier option to get the same reward, they won't.

    Coil isn't immune to the whining which is why they're releasing two different modes for endgame raiding come expansion time. Also SE had an opportunity to drop better gear via savage coil but chose not to.
